Dedicated servers confirmed for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

4.7
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will support dedicated servers, developer Sledgehammer Games has confirmed.

In an interview with Stevivor from earlier this month, Sledgehammer Games’ Michael Condrey answered the question of whether or not dedicated servers will be supported by Advanced Warfare.

“We’ve got some announcements coming. Yes, we will be supporting dedicated servers and there will be announcements soon on which providers and platforms. I can’t answer just yet, but you can let your community know that it’s coming,” he said.

Advanced Warfare will be the second game to support the technology after Ghosts.

Dedicated servers present arguably the best way to experience online multiplayer games. Rather than relying on the quality of users’ internet connection (peer-to-peer), dedicated servers let everyone connect to a server close to their location, providing a much more stable and level playing field.

The Battlefield series has been utilising this feature for years on consoles, and it’s certainly nothing new for PC. Battlefield even lets users rent servers and have better control over which maps or modes they want to run. Call of Duty has always relied on the ‘playlist’ model, so dedicated servers would generally be handled by the developers.

Advanced Warfare is out November 4 worldwide for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Goo thing to her for the CoD fans. At least it will put a stop to the modding and prestige lobbys on local servers.

Sanctyy Still think this game is gonna suck big time. I was still going to get it probably but am starting to decide against it.


Just stop. If you play on the One or 360 your going to get it. Stop hating on a game that has not game out yet. I see this crap year after year....

I think the wording here is key.. He states dedicated servers are coming on certain platform/providers. In other words, Yes dedicated servers on PS4 and Xbox One, No on 360 and PS3.

This is good so we will have no more of that changing host nonsense.

Bloomy Hopefully this works out because this will just make the game better. I'll be honest, I hated even thinking about the game because I thought I would be like a Halo and COD mixed but it's starting to interest me.


No. Based on the game play in the trailers recently it will resemble closely to Black Ops 2.

The-Professor Even tho i wanna believe this.. I really doubt it..


It wouldn't be the first time CoD series lied about having dedicated servers and it wouldn't be the last. Remember people... Call of duty franchise has LIED several times and making empty promises. It will be no surprise games like theirs are created and then forgotten swimming in their money. Only time they step in is due to some hacking, or large scale volume of reports on certain exploits.
